Spark Notebook termination after ~14 days (Eventstream Destination)
I have a realtime ingestion process as the following :
- In an eventstream ingesting events from an eventhub
- Doing some operations (filter events , ...)
- Set a notebook as destination of the eventstream
- In the notebook : apply upsert operation and append or updata data into a Lakehouse table
when I add the notebook as destination an instance of notebook starts to run (I can see the activity in monitor) and working fine (the events are ingested and in Lakehouse table, evrything looks great) but after almost 14 days the notebook suddenly stops and I need to manually delete the notebook from eventstrteam and add it again as destination.
Does it seem the native behaviour of Fabric to stop spending resources or there is a setting I can set it to let it run forever?
Thanks
Hey Hamidr I believe this is an expected behavior today in Microsoft Fabric.
When you set a Notebook as an Eventstream destination, Fabric spins up a managed Spark job.
That job runs continuously, consumes capacity and has an internal lifetime limit.After around 14 days, Fabric terminates the job automatically (this is a platform safeguard).
At the moment there is no setting to make it run indefinitely.
I'd recommend you do lightweight transformations in Eventstream, then land data to Lakehouse (append) or Eventhouse / KQL database (as KQL table).
Then add scheduled or triggered notebooks to do upsert / merge logic for downstream consumptions.
Appreciate if you can 'Kudos' and/or 'Accept as Solution' if this answered your query.

rizalard0684 Thanks for your solution , I did implment same at the beginning but changed the solution to have more near real time approach but it seems what I did before and you also suggested is the only solution for now.
